The News (Al-Naba')
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
۞ Of what do they ask one another? 1 About the Great News 2 About which they have been differing? 3 Surely yes, they will soon come to know! 4 Then, no! They are going to know. 5 Have We not made the earth as a wide expanse, 6 The mountains tent-pins? 7 And We have created you in pairs, 8 And have appointed your sleep for repose, 9 And made the night as a covering, 10 And We made the day for seeking livelihood. 11 And constructed above you seven strong [heavens] 12 and have placed [therein the sun,] a lamp full of blazing splendour. 13 And sent down, from the rain clouds, pouring water 14 to make the seeds, plants, 15 and gardens dense with foliage? 16 Indeed the Day of Decision is a time fixed. 17 The Day when the Trumpet will be blown, and you shall come forth in crowds (groups); 18 And the heaven is opened and will become gateways 19 And the mountains shall be moved away from their places and they will be as if they were a mirage. 20 Surely the Hell is an ambush, 21 A dwelling place for the Taghun (those who transgress the boundry limits set by Allah like polytheists, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah, hyprocrites, sinners, criminals, etc.), 22 They will remain in it for ages. 23 Nothing cool shall they taste therein, nor any drink, 24 save boiling water and pus 25 An appropriate recompense. 26 Indeed, they did not hope for a Reckoning, 27 But they (impudently) treated Our Signs as false. 28 but We have recorded everything in a Book. 29 'Taste! We shall increase you not save in chastisement.' 30
